mad in pursuit journal

Radio.
My voice
project was posted on Sunday. A "soft launch" as they say, since I've
only heard from 3 people who listened to it. But, moving right along,
I decided to do more homework on radio production and poked away
at starting another couple of projects. Easy ones. Heh.

One was a
1-minute sound mix experiment. I got frustrated fast.

The other was
an adaptation of a humorous essay I
wrote on travel. Something different — short, punchy. When will I learn?
The writing is very windy — major construction ahead...

Nonviolence & Anger. I dug into Arun Gandhi's book
to think about a production based on his grandfather's stories. It
led to my own 4-day meditation on anger.

Toronto Road Trip. In getting myself re-immersed in the
radio world, I learned about a conference next weekend in Toronto:
Radio Without Boundaries: Radio & the
Transmission Arts. Close. Not too expensive. A chance to rub elbows.
An excuse to get out of town. Looks like the program will emphasize
sound as art. I registered Jim along with me. He's always my first
and most supportive source of feedback, so I might as well get him
trained up.

Ebay. Sold 2 $2 postcards. Big whoop. I started posting
some books but got b-o-r-e-d.
